Placement Masterpost

Saturn finds one of its only comforts in Venus, so the occurrence of an uncomfortable aspect may find its fortune. The difficulties, however, include an inability to find comfort in romantic relationships, discomfort in expressing affection or appreciation, and an inability to spend money.

Romantic difficulty stems from fear of failing relationships, and as a result, the Venus square Saturn native completely avoids relationships. The Venus square Saturn native may even destroy their own relationships, a self-fulfilling prophecy brought forth by paranoia. This is especially true if Venus occupies Aries or Scorpio. With Venus in Virgo, the native may seem "picky", but in all reality, they avoid giving anyone a chance. Fortunate placements, Venus in Pisces, Taurus, or Libra, brings ease in relationships; instead, a primary focus of discomfort will be money.

As for money, Venus square Saturn avoids needless spending unless afflicted by Aries. This is a good placement for conservation, but it can be an issue, spending on the necessities. Venus square Saturn uses multiple excuses in the face of spending; Venus in Taurus only spends on themselves; Venus in Libra only spends for themselves and the partner. An exception would be Venus in Pisces, the selfless one, but an issue for this Venus placement is spending on the wrong things.

The Venus square Saturn placement may avoid personal pleasures. Excuses and anxiety plague ​their ability to have fun. This is especially true if the 5th House is afflicted by Saturn itself. Venus in a fortunate placement, however, may only moderate their pleasure, avoiding over-indulging. Their physical appearance shows extreme importance; there is potential for low self esteem.

Once acquired, the Venus square Saturn partner is loyal. The Saturn native's best bet is to find an understanding and somewhat forceful partner. Venus square Saturn wants to be in charge, but it's important for their partner to encourage ease. The native may even appreciate a bit of dominance in a partner, but it's also dependent on other Venus and Saturn placements. With age, the malefic qualities of Venus square Saturn dissipate, replaced by maturity and experience in relationships and money. The native learns to make the right choices, especially by the first Saturn Return.
